According to Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, “the suspects, Odukoya Odushina, Subomi Popoola, and Itunuoluwa Taiwo, were arrested following information received by Obalende Divisional Headquarters Ijebu Ode, that cultists were seen holding a nocturnal meeting at a black spot known as Sanga at the back of Central Mosque, with a view to unleashing terror on members of the community.
“Upon receiving the information, DPO Obalende Division, mobilised his men and stormed the said black spot.
